Seven foot tomato plants


Make a lush greenhouse with the help of
shorter plants along the floor.




The look of my constructed spud box
may seem like something a North Fork
dweller would attach to their home,
but imagine the pile of spuds we
will have this fall.
i dunno how big the bottom
tubers are, yet. too chicken to look.



Mamma Wolf has such a green thumb
to have pulled off what looks like a very
productive crop of tomatoes, zucchini,
cucumbers, bell peppers, and even
got potato peels to sprout in her
compost bin! Tell me that ain't green!






The apple tree has small report this year.
I did not force germinate as in the past.
Good year for growth.



As far as current weather - Hot, more hot
and almost clear, open sky except
it is hazed with smoke of wildfire
and a light hint of city behind it.

May as well have
stayed by the fire at the HITW.

Calculating average MPH ...


These two pics I call "Before" and "After".
The above is before us on the highway -
Turnagain Arm. The below is after us...
(zoom in at the far roadway)




The weekend of July 4th seems to bring
every vehicle (that runs) out to the highway
to travel, for sure, but I have never seen
so many cars backed up on the Seward
Highway as last night. No accident report
has been found to account for it, either.
(reprint brought to you by snow1 (thanks).)




Northbound traffic slowed to a halt about
mile 66 of the Seward Highway - just South
of the rest stops in "the pass". Considering
approximately 4 miles traveled in 50 minutes,
our average speed was around 5 MPH.
I think we had enough time to bond in
between the whining spurts from the back
seat(s) due to broken A/C (no cold holes).

heh, heh... their windows don't open...snick!..

Stranger things have happened

My favorite Alaskan river still shows low numbers
of Chinook
on a daily count. Maybe they're not
going to show up this year. Maybe they've gone
to an unknown underground river to spawn?
Imagine finding fish below the earth's surface.
Stranger things have happened in China.

Those who have been to the Hole In The Wall
Recreational Area are aware of the drainage sump
designed by the property owner, himself.

Maybe the Eagle has something with that
idea but hasn't been deep enough yet?
